The client, a winery crush facility, was seeking an efficient and sustainable way to manage process water with the goal of land applying the treated effluent. Traditional treatment options required a large land application area, which posed limitations for site planning and long-term operations.

Cloacina provided a phased solution consisting of a roughing filter for primary treatment and a membrane bioreactor (MBR) system for advanced treatment. In Phase 1, the high-quality effluent produced by the MBR allowed the client to significantly reduce the land application area. The system was also designed for future expansion, enabling the winery to transition to reuse irrigation water in later phases—supporting both regulatory compliance and long-term water conservation goals.
